Year 2001
Thought you would like to know about Mike. He is living in Darwin, Australia working for a removal company still married to his lovely wife Pam who he met whilst at Everton. He coaches an amateur team called The Northern Lions on a Sunday. (A bunch of ex pat Poms & rag bag locals who love to increase the share price of Carlton & United Breweries with their after match consumption)
Mike coached in Newcastle (NSW) & came to Darwin to coach the now defunct Darwin Cubs. (The only team in the world to play in a league outside their own country- Singapore). Mike does a spot on a local radio sports show on a Saturday morning & pops into Goodison on his trips back to England where he is accorded hero status by older Evertonians.
Maany thanks, Chris.
ps his bonus for scoring twice in the cup final of '66 was...................... 30 quid.!!!! The rest of the team got 800 but as he played in only the 1/4, semi & final the generous directors thought his contribution was not enough!!!
